TYPES OF JUDGING
There are two different types of judging used at the Sauk County Junior Fair. In Regular conference judging an exhibit is evaluated based
on its own merit; it is not compared to other exhibits in the same class. With regular judging there may be a class of all blue ribbons.
In Danish Judging, exhibits are evaluated against a standard and ribbons are awarded and placed highest to lowest based on meeting the
standard. In Danish judging ribbons are awarded based on the total number of entries in a class, and using the national guidelines for
distribution of ribbons.

ringworm lesions or warts are inactive and incapable of transmitting the disease. Any cattle found with ringworm, warts, mange, or
scabs that are active shall be removed from the premises of the fair. If the exhibitor questions the superintendent about the removal
of the animal, a veterinarian will be called to the fairgrounds to determine if the ringworm is active and the vet on call shall be the
expense of the exhibitor. (See specific Health Rules under each dept.)

Animal Health Regulations for Fairs and Shows in Wisconsin: 2017 Season
This is a summary of animal health requirements for fairs, shows and exhibitions only. They are not necessarily the same as
requirements for importing animals into Wisconsin or moving them within the state for other purposes. They may change if animal
diseases occur in Wisconsin or elsewhere, so you should always check our website or contact us for current information.
General requirements for show organizers:
All fairs or exhibitions of any length must obtain, review, and keep for five years all required records and test results: Exhibitor’s

Diseases: Animals that show evidence of having contagious or infectious diseases may not be commingled (or housed/kept) with
other animals at a fair, show, or other exhibition in such a way as to allow disease to spread. Such animals should not attend the
fair, show, or exhibition. Animals may be denied entry if they arrive at these events with contagious or infectious diseases, isolated
and/or removed if they develop disease after arriving, or be subject to other action as would be necessary to control disease.
Bovine animals with ringworm, mange, warts or scab will be removed from the fair or exhibition premises, unless the veterinarian in
charge finds warts or ringworm lesions are incapable of transmitting disease

them to shows only if they test negative Test cattle for Johne’s disease by ELISA test, and bring them to shows only if they test
negative Clean and disinfect vehicles used to transport animals to and from the show, and vehicles used at the show, before and
after the show Isolate exhibited animals returning to their farms or animals purchased at the show for 21 days before mingling
them with other stock

premises registration code on livestock entry forms Provide hand-washing stations near all livestock facilities Provide individual
